Ontology For IL7 (Source: Uniprot.org, NCBI)

Protein Function

Hematopoietic growth factor capable of stimulating the proliferation of lymphoid progenitors. It is important for proliferation during certain stages of B-cell maturation. .

Background

IL-7 a hematopoietic growth factor secreted by stromal cells in the red marrow and thymus. It is also produced by keratinocytes,1 dendritic cells,2 hepatocytes,3 neurons, and endothelial cells4. Interleukin 7(IL7) is a protein5 that in humans is encoded by the IL7 gene.6, 7, 8Knockout studies in mice suggested that this cytokine plays an essential role in lymphoid cell survival.9 IL-7 is a cytokine important for B and T cell development. This cytokine and the hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) form a heterodimer that functions as a pre-pro-B cell growth-stimulating factor. This cytokine is found to be a cofactor for V(D)J rearrangement of the T cell receptor beta(TCRB) during early T cell development.

*The quality control (QC) data in this section is obtained from Boster's internal QC results and is for reference only. It may differ from the users' lab test results. The users can expect to generate data with similar linearity and quality demonstrated in the typical data but may not achieve exactly the same O.D. values.

This data is generated from a recent batch of EK0779 Human IL-7 ELISA Kit PicoKine™. It is not necessarily the same data set used to generate the standard curve shown in the image of this product. TMB reaction incubate at 37°C for 15-25min

We measured random samples of Human IL-7 ELISA Kit PicoKine™ within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

We measured the performance consistency of Human IL-7 ELISA Kit PicoKine™ to ensure the reproducibility of the assays. Three samples with differing target protein concentrations were assayed using four different lots.

Reproducibility

To assay reproducibility, three samples with differing target protein concentrations were assayed using four different lots.

I've recently purchased one of BosterBio's human IL-17 ELISA kits. I would like to use it to detect IL-17 levels in human placental tissue. Is there an existing protocol for placental tissue homogenization that has been optimized for use with this kit?
Additionally, is it known if cytokines can be detected accurately in tissue samples stored at room temperature in 70% ethanol?
